I love it when classical instruments gets abused. You can always suspect a bit of madness floating down the veins of classical musicians, and it's always fascinating to hear what happens late at night when no one is watching those properly dressed classical musicians. This kind of dark side of the musician, is fantastically showed by [...]
The sky was angry that day my friends. I was walking with my dog, Oren The King Avigdor, while the pouring rain was turning me soaking wet (what can you do, the dog has its needs). But lucky for me, internet is making my life as a music discoverer much easier, and I'm tuned on the [...]
The Paperheads are a trio of 18 year old guys from Nashville, who's doing an extremely surprisingly professional Psych rock, with traces of Kaleidoscope (UK), July and Tomorrow.

Last Thursday, I went to see a very interesting night in Jaffa, Israel. The event, took place in Hateva (The Arc) gathered some really talented chaps from the local jazz and improv scene in the country, and was based on two duos and one trio and was based on the free improvisation concept. It was messy, tidy, [...]
I've realized that Secret Cities are one of my favourite bands twice. The first time was when I first heared their amazing debut Pink Graffiti , an album I can't get enough of and was one of the best albums of 2010. The second time was 10 minutes ago, when I got an email from them [...]

I'm not sure what it means, to be sculptured in the Rock'N'Roll Hall Of Fame wall of eternity, after all - if you made it there, that means you are already known to 3-4 people. But whatever makes Tom Waits happy, makes me happy (minus the 5AM hookers, not my thing) - or at least this [...]
Yesterday, in the monthly FMA newsletter (something that every music fan should be a subscriber of), aside to the always amazing recommendations, there was this one thing that captured my eyes :Golden Pavillion Records. According to the label's website : Reissues rare and often overlooked late 60's and 70's psychedelic, progressive, acid-folk & art-rock music. Our [...]
The trouble with 'best of' lists is that you always miss some really good releases and only find out about them till much later. That was the case with the brilliant compilation Echoes From The Mountain, releases last October. The story of this album is really interesting and thrilling. It all starts with an evening in London, [...]
